I’ve been working in The Tie Room today, and I realized I haven’t counted the necktie population for a couple of years. It’s Census time in the U.S. of A., and I believe my neckwear should be counted too. I’m starting with the neckties. I pulled the clothing rack out of The Tie Room and I have filled it with every necktie I can find, excluding the Christmas ties. (The 200 or so Christmas ties, as I’ve probably told you before, live among their own kind in a separate room. They’ll get counted another time.)
Anyhoo… While I busy myself with counting these non-holiday Ties o’ the Day, let’s have a contest. Whoever’s guesstimate comes closest to the correct necktie total will win a prize. The prize will most likely be the Pooping Dogs Puzzle which nobody wanted the first time I offered to give it away to the first person to dibs it. Please, someone win the puzzle, so I can make Suzanne happy by getting it out of the house.
Guesstimate Hint: The last time I counted the neckties, two years ago, they numbered over 700. There are exactly 31 hangers on the rack, but there is no set number of ties per hanger. Good luck on your guesses, boys and girls!
